Dear Birendra,
We are back and missing Nepal desperately! Our trip was wonderful, thanks to your careful planning. We did all that we hoped to, and more. What makes Nepal so special is that is has so many different facets – nature, wildlife, history and culture.

Kanchanjunga Trek | Kanchanjunga Trekking

This region offers an endless variety of culture and changing countryside as it proceeds from the hot rive-growing districts through terraced fields, forests of birch, bamboo and rhododendron that eventually turn to stands of fir and hemlock as one climbs higher intro the mountains. Himalayan bear, barking deer and the lesser panda are among the rich animal and bird life that fill the area.Kanchanjunga, Makalu and the spectacular Jannu are among the peaks at the outset of the trek. Passing through villages of Brahmins and Chhetries, you enter almost exclusive Rai territory with a scatter of Gurung and Sherpa settlements.

Permit Fee : US$10p.p per week for the first four weeks & US$20 per week there after.

The local tea-shops have great tongba where you can sip the warm drink with a bamboo straw and chat with English-speaking elderly ex- servicemen.Day 06 : Yamptudin is probably the only Gurung village this far east. Unlike their Rai or Limbu neighbours, they speak Nepali.Day 07 : Lamite Bhanjyang does not offer much of a view because of the thick forest of tall trees.

From the exotically named Sinion La is a view to rival Poon Hill.
